What a great list! I just moved to the Triangle area and I was so excited to find this! But the Oyster Festival is held in Ocean Isle Beach, NC. 🙂 Just a heads up for those who may want to shuck some oysters this year. Yum!

I’m going to save this one for my next festivals post that will be coming out in November. Thank you so much for letting me know about it, and I hope you’ll come back for that post. I wanted the cut off for this post to be November so that I could include Christmas and winter festivals together.

Thanks for this list. I was telling my husband the other day that we need to partake in more Fall activities because the last few years we really haven’t done much of anything.

Fred, thank you so much for letting me know about this super cool festival. It sounds like ya’ll have a really great time. I look forward to hearing all about it from you and the many of my readers who attend. I have added this one to the list. I also checked out the website. It looks like a rockin’ good time.

I’ll do some research to see if I can find out any information about these. If I find any, I’ll be sure to let my readers know about them either by updating this post or creating a follow up post depending on how many there are around North Carolina.

Thank you for bringing these to my attention. I have updated the list with these festivals. I look forward to hearing all about them from any of my readers who make it out! I know my husband would sure love the Brew Fest one so maybe we’ll make it up there too.
